I've been dealing with the i810 on my laptop, an IBM ThinkPad i1300. I just
got it to work last night. I did so by installing the ALSA drivers for the
chipset. I found it to be pretty easy, especially if you have already
compiled the kernel. My suggestion is to *not* use the precompiled modules
package, as it apparently wants to replace your kernel with a 2.4.16 kernel.
There is a really excellent HOWTO on installing ALSA drivers on Debian
GNU/Linux:
http://www.linuxorbit.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Sections&file=index&re
q=viewarticle&artid=541&page=1
(Also, check out some of their other tutorials, I really like them myself.)
Like the article says, you'll have to recompile your kernel to compile in
Linux sound support (which you should already have) and remove the AC '97
and i810 modules from the kernel.
So far I've been *very* happy with the results, although I can't say I've
compared them to using the 2.4.x stock kernel modules. If you're not
opposed to ALSA (and I'm not sure why anyone should be :-) ), I'd give it a
shot.
HTH,
